hi guys

i recntly had some issues with my coil packs, my car was missing on hard excelleration, so i pulled the coils and painted them with nail polish as previously demonstrated on DIY. unfortunantley as some predicted due to the heat factor it didnt last so i pulled them back out and covered them with industrial silcone.

which wistands high temp, however problem is still there.

my question is, is it possible that my coils are that stuffed that they are no longer repairable, I would like to also add that the only reason why i reverted to painting them from the start was to boost more, and i never had an issue on stock boost.

i know i am going to have to get new coils sooner or latter but i would prefer to hold off on them for a while and perhaps i can get splitfire coils .

any help would be very much appreciated.

mate regap you plugs lower.....

and i had massive misfire problems, went to bunnings and grabbed some selleys 401 industrial strength silicone, can withstand heat upto 205 degrees. Cover the bottom of the coil where they crack in the silicon. I did this on the weekend and it worked an absolute treat. I found this from the diy section after lots of searching and it worked wonders (i think it even might be a few pages into that nail polish thread as i read tat aswell)

      And half of them have been converted to turbos.

      Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.

      I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too

      Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance

      Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
